Supporting your well-being

Transitioning to college can be stressful and we know you may be facing other challenges in your life as well. That's why we've made sure you have free counseling available both on campus and 24/7 online.  There is always someone you can talk to, so don't wait until you are overwhelmed to reach out.

The Tom & Barbara Schoellkopf Community Counseling Center

The Schoellkopf Center is a training clinic where IU Columbus students and other community members can receive counseling from our graduate students in Mental Health Counseling, or from a licensed member of our faculty. Many students find it convenient to receive counseling from the Schoellkopf Center, which is located on the second floor of the Campus Center building.

Text reads "Click here to learn more about the Schoellkopf Center". A man sits at a computer just beyond an open frosted glass door.

If you receive counseling as part of our Master's in Mental Health Counseling training clinic, both a licensed clinician and graduate student will be present to counsel you. If you prefer a one-on-one setting, you can meet with one of our licensed counseling professors, or choose to use our online platform, TimelyCare.
